...most wonderful time of the year, March, when the entire nation suddenly becomes very interested in the athletic fortunes of tiny liberal arts colleges in Ohio, when water cooler conversation turns to RPI and the question everyone wants to know is "who do you have in your bracket?" As the nation spends the next three weeks watching the NCAA men?s basketball tournament (and betting an estimated $5 billion in office and online pools) our Person of the Week is the man who made it all possible: Lee Fowler...
Saudis nonetheless regard Abdullah, an energetic man despite his considerable girth, as a dedicated, in-touch ruler. Each day he rises around noon, a common practice among Saudis, who often prefer to work in the cooler nights. Abdullah greets visiting dignitaries, emissaries and ordinary citizens until his 7 p.m. meal, naps until midnight and then puts in another day's work until dawn prayers.

After a few hours of hearing nothing louder than the calls of cranes, Bangkok's rush and roar will be forgotten. The river oasis can be reached by water taxi from Nonthaburi for about $7 for a round trip...
...price tag, Majority Leader Tom Daschle told reporters Thursday that the U.S. must add two more prisoners to its X-Ray pen - Mullah Omar and Osama bin Laden - "or we will have failed." Trent Lott, through his spokesman, was very upset; Bush, through his, played it cooler, with Ari Fleischer drily informing reporters Thursday that "individuals are free to focus on any one person if they think that's the best way to conduct foreign policy. That's a different approach than the president...
